If the death toll is high, Katrina is what Bush will be remembered for

[undeterred]

They can spin it all they want and try to hide the numbers, but this is too big for him to overcome. It will be the lasting monument to his reign of death.

1. This and the blatant manipulation of the public and the march to an unjust

war fought under the words of "fighting terrorism" and that ironically makes the US more vulnerable to terrorism.

These two items - will be among the things that will follow Bushjr as his presidential reputation.

2. He will go down in history as a monumental failure.

History is about reality and consequences. There's no escaping it.

[undeterred]

3. And the spin they add to it now will just be part of the story

Not that Bush gives a rats ass about how he will look to history.

4. Even if the death toll isn't high

Numbers are just statistics. What people will remember is the pain and suffering of the survivors - now that our press has found their integrity again (at least for awhile). This is what Bush will be remembered for.

5. Bush will be remembered for this regardless of the death toll.

American citizens were abandoned by the U.S. federal government. This will not be forgotten.

6. The RW never accepts the truth

Nixon was not a crook and liar. Reagan was the greatest President ever. * will be remembered as a BOLD leader in time of national crisis.

7. and of course for leading the illegal invasion of Iraq n/t

8. People in other parts of the world are still angry

that we had people in Hawaii who knew the tsunami was on its way Dec 26 2004 but did not contact the appropriate authorities in Indonesia so that warnings could go out.

Now they see how ineffective we are, and how little we care for human life. Great technology, but no management, and no values. That's the USA.

I've always thought we valued "american" life over the rest of the world, but apparently poor southerners don't even count as "americans" to this president.

9. And Iraq war debacle!

[Maru Kitteh]

10. If ?

I think we're past that point unfortunately.

[undeterred]

11. Well, nothing official yet, but I think we are too.

12. If he death toll is LOW, Katrina will be what Bush is remembered for...

How colossally he fucked this one up. He couldn't have done things any worse.
